The Mind and Our Reality

I have touched on the subject of perception and the mind, but I enjoy more reminders of the power of our mind as it is not only a spiritual idea but also a psychological one. It balances out the fear and drama we hear from the world and which can affect how we view life. I do not watch the news, but “news” have a away of sneaking in through the internet or well meaning friends wanting to keep me “informed.”

Allow me to share a few quotes with images that I think are beautiful to look at:

As above, so below. As within, so without.” – The Emerald Tablet, circa 3000 B.C.

Creation is always happening. Every time an individual has a thought, or a prolonged, chronic way of thinking, they’re in the creation process. Something is going to manifest out of those thoughts – Michael Beckwith

Be careful what you water your dreams with. Water them with worry and fear and you will produce weeds that choke the life from your dream. Water them with optimism and solutions and you will cultivate success. Always be on the lookout for ways to turn a problem into an opportunity for success. Always be on the lookout for ways to nurture your dream. – Lao Tzu

Every great tradition has told you that you were created in the image and the likeness of the creative source. That means that you have God potential and power to create your world. – James Ray

You are the masterpiece of your own life; you are the Michelangelo of your experience. The David that you are sculpting is you. And you do it with your thoughts. — Dr Joe Vitale

Whether we believe or disbelieve that our thoughts create our reality, or that what we hold within is reflected in the world we experience, one thing is undeniable: having a positive attitude creates a more pleasant life experience. After all, life is perception, what we hold in mind becomes the movie we project for ourselves. The following poster sums it up nicely.

What a great poster! And I love the quotes, too, of course. I know what you mean about trying to avoid disturbing and fear-producing stories and images and yet they get in anyway. I have such a difficult time getting that point across to others who just feel compelled to “tell me the details” of something I really don’t want to know abut. I have discovered with a few friends that once I made it very clear that I didn’t want to dwell in negativity or communication mostly dried up! Now wasn’t that an interesting thing for me to discover. Ah well…Debra

As John Lennon said/sung, “there are no problems . . . only solutions.” 😀

Thank you Veeh. 🙂 A sage by the name of Mooji likes to use the phrase “don’t purchase a thought”, meaning if we think it, own it and believe it, we then have to deal with it’s manifestation in our lives. Glad this quote validates the message you are getting out of David Icke’s talk.

Here we go, Marie!! I’ve nominated you for the Inspiring Blogger Award! I hope you will accept it and enjoy it, and if you choose otherwise, that’s okay too!! But you truly are an Inspiring Blogger!! Check out my blog for the post entitled the Inspiring Blogger Award! Congratulations!

: ) ….just popped in to view those wonderful images and to re-energize after a very long, but productive week….Marie, those images are amazing! I’d LOVE to learn how to create images like that!…so very very special!

Hi Kathy! Have been off WP most of the day, catching up. I know what you mean about these photos. I find many of them in the public domain, others I purchase at Bigstock.com. However, I have seen an elderly man who has a Facebook page (he is 80) turn public domain photos into awesome visuals with photoshop. He is obviously an artist. Would love to learn to do this myself too! Glad you enjoy them. 🙂
